Just do it! NO EXCUSES! 1 year / PICS TO PROVE

Mcgrawhaha · September 2013

Ok, on September 17th, 2012, I had my body fat measured at 44%. YES, 44%!!! As of today, I am a little over 1% away from my goal of 20% body fat!!! I measured in this morning at 21.1% body fat! How have I done this? NO MAGIC DIET PILLS, TRICKS, OR FAIRY DUST SPRINKLED ON MY FOOD! I take all the credit, sorry, not to toot my own horn, but the fact of the matter is, I did it through hard work and dedication. I looked at it like this, I wasted over a decade being fat, feeling bad about myself, having low self esteem, wishing I could wear sexy clothes, and wanting so bad to make my husband and kids proud; I wasted over a decade feeling this way... I figured, 100 pounds can be lost in 1 years time, with hard work. I can give up 1 year of my life, saying no, being strict, and working my *kitten* off, to finally be who I want to be. 1 year! Give up 1 year, by the time that year is up, I wont want to go back to my own ways, I will have learned to control myself... SO THATS WHAT I DID, I GAVE UP A YEAR, I said NO to my family members and friends who wanted me to go out to restaurants 3-5 times per week, I said NO to Saturdays that consisted of an entire bag of flaming hot cheetos, a 12 pack of beer, and a couple thousand calories of chocolate. I said NO to a second piece of cake, I said NO to 3 donuts, and instead only had 1... I said YES to daily exercise, I said YES to shopping for better choices at the grocery store, I said YES to being healthy, I said YES to wanting to live my life as the person I always wanted to be... 1 YEAR, THATS ALL IT TOOK, NOW IM HERE, AND I WAS RIGHT, I DONT WANT THE THINGS I WANBTED BEFORE. I am happy with a handful of hot cheetos, I am happy with just a couple beers, I am happy with 1 piece of cake, I am happy with only going to restaurants only once per week... 1 YEAR!

thanks. i just wanted to post this because i spent over 10 years, starting a diet, quitiing a diet, buying this diet pill, trying that diet pill, all the while, my weight continued to climb. then a couple years ago, i again, started a diet like normal, and gave up 6 weeks into it. exactly 1 year later i thought, wow, that year went by fast, too bad i didnt stay on track, id be skinny by now... so then i started my final weight loss attempt. september 17 2012... figured, im going to complete 1 year, then see where i am... maybe ill go back to my old eating habits, maybe i wont, but im giving it 1 year of my life... and then,. before i knew it, 1 year went by, and i was 95 pounds lighter. it makes me so sad to see my friends and family struggle with thier weight, and do the start a diet, quit a diet, try this, try that thing that i spent a decade doing... i just want to share that for most of us, we can lose what we need to lose in 1 year or less so why not just give it a shot? many of us have spent a decade or more being over weight and un-healthy, so whats a year of sacrifice?

So the question I ask is what kind of workouts did you do? I have been on here since 3/11 and have only lost 50 some lbs and yes, I want this but having a hard time ........my metabolism sucks and the weight wont come off then I get discouraged and eat.

Yanicka1 · October 2013

Wow! Great work and results.

Kevalicious99 · October 2013

Wow ... your story is an inspiration. I am just new at this .. but I am motivated to do it. Whatever it takes I figure. I too am willing to give up the things that got me to this point. No junk food and no pop. Your story gives me hope that I can do it too. Thanks for your post.

I am at 36% body fat .. and want to get that down to a respectable number.

Krissy366 · October 2013

Outstanding! Congratulations.

brendaskipper · October 2013

Incredibly inspiring and it gives me a new perspective. I've already made up my mind that I am going to win this battle this time but I've never really thought about it as only giving up a year compared to the years that I've been unhappy. Thank you for posting this, I really needed to read this. By the way you look fantastic!
